Deco Mesh with Archer BE800 giving me headaches (Archer AX75 works like a dream)
I have been running a home network seamlessly using the Archer AX75 as a router and Deco BE85 and other deco models for the mesh. The Archer is in router mode with wifi disabled and decos are in Access Point mode for great wifi coverage.
I am about to move from 1 Gb to 10Gb internet at home, so I bought an Archer BE800 router, which can manage 10Gb, in advance to replace my Archer AX75. It has been a disaster!
The Deco network keeps failing, and the internet keeps falling. I sometimes get speeds of 500Mbs; other times, I get 10Mbs. Worse, the Deco mesh keeps dropping signal.
To make sure it wasn't any other issue, I swapped it back to the AX75, and everything is working perfectly giving me wireless speeds of 700-900Mbs (I am still on the 1Gb service) depending on where I am at home.
I then swapped back to the BE800, and everything went crazy, and nothing worked well.
Anyone else having this issues? Any fixes?
Why will the Deco work well with the Archer AX75 and not the Archer BE800??

@Sunshine and @terziyski
I appreciate your help over the last week. I changed ISP today from Starhub to MyRepublic (I am in Singapore).
I did a factory reset on the router and started again.
Good news:
-No more internet dropping
-Negotiated speed looks fine
-Connectivity via LAN is great and I can get 7Gbs when connected
Setup
-ISP Modem into be BE800 port 1
-BE800 to BE85 via 10Gbs ethernet
-BE85 to my TPLink 5-port Multi-Gigabit Switch 10Gbps
Wifi:
-Wifi is via BE85 only with 2.4 Ghz, 5 Ghz and 6 Ghz enabled.
-MLO disabled
On my MacBook pro M3 or iPhone 15 I am getting max wifi speeds of 1.1-1.2Gbps.
Given that these products are Wi-Fi 7 and the MacBook Pro M3 and iPhone 15 can handle Wi-Fi 6E, what should the Wi-Fi speed available be? I read it should be closer to 2Gbs wireless. Can anyone confirm and advise what I need to do? Maybe I need to start a new chat.

A new issue has popped up. Anyone having the same problem.
All was working fine well and I was playing around with the settings.
For some reason I now cannot log into the Deco mesh wifi from my iPhone 15. All other devices working fine. It's just from this one device.
i am getting this error:
Any ideas?
Thank you
